KNOW YHWH ELOHIM.

“And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day ..” (KJV Rom. 13:11-13).

“And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us your oil; for our lamps have gone out.  But the wise answered; saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you…!” (KJV Mat. 25:9-10)

Most of those in the world TODAY are walking in a state of absolute denial regarding the imminent state of collapse the world and its systems finds itself in and this is tragic; however even more tragic is the fact that many believers share this gross state of denial. 

A denial of seeming endless and daily fulfillment of prophecy will not change what is happening and what is still to happen.  The time has arrived where we all need to make an honest assessment, a sober evaluation of the massive upheaval that lies at our very doorsteps; we shall all need to consider a dramatic paradigm shift, a paradigm shift which will either be forced on us by coming circumstances or which we can choose now to begin to explore and adopt whilst we still have the opportunity to do so.

In Ezekiel 20:33-44, which is an end time Messianic Prophecy, we are told very clearly what will happen to us and how YHWH will judge us and contend with us Face to face in the wilderness (Hebraic Idiom for The Feast of Yom Kippur).  We are also told in Revelation 12:17 who the dragon will make war against – those who keep the commandments of Elohim and have the testimony of Messiah Yeshua: Again we are told in Revelation 14:12 who they are who will have the strength to endure this coming Dark Night of Yaakov or Time of Yaakov’s Troubles (Hebrew Idioms for the Tribulation period) – they are those who keep the commandments (Torah) of Elohim and have the Testimony or Faith, meaning a relationship of obedience of walking as Yeshua did and still walking with Yeshua.  Now keeping of the Laws of YHWH Elohim (Marriage Covenant/Torah) means this walk can only be done through The Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh), any other way and it is of ourselves and CANNOT BE PLEASING TO YHWH or beneficial to us.

To be able to make that needed shift to walk in The Commandments of Elohim and have a Testimony of Yeshua thus enabling us to endure and stand in the coming times will mean WE SHALL NEED TO CLOSLY EVALUTE AND RUTHLESSLY CONSIDER WHO OUR ELOHIM IS AND THE RELATIONSHIP WE HAVE WITH HIM RIGHT NOW.

Be assured persecution has come for many of our Brethren in other parts of the world and it will come for us, YESHUA our Messiah said so in John 15:20. We cannot be sure in what form it will present itself but we can be absolutely certain there will be hunger, thirst.  We can be absolutely certain there will be degrees of racism, humanism, political persecution, religious persecution, family members turning against family members and much, much more – in fact we are assured that the tares will have grown to their maximum and be ready for harvest, and that these time are worse than anything mankind has ever experienced or will ever experience, indeed if the days were not shortened all human life will perish (Joel 2:2; Mat. 10:34-39; Mat. 24:20-22 – note that Messiah even speaks of the Sabbath here in the time of the Great Tribulation – still a future event, yet Sabbath is still relevant & so much so that HE mentions it).

I believe it is readily visible if one reads my writings and missives that YHWH, through His RUACH, lays very heavily on my heart the absolute and utter need to return to HIM in Spirit and in Truth – HE LOATHES RELIGION, HOWEVER HE LOVES RELATIONSHIPS PASSIONATELY!

In my opinion, one of the most devastating consequences of religion (religion being man made systems attempting to sum up and appease a God we do not really understand) is that we use mans theology and interpretations of Scripture to define YHWH, and thus we, as written of in Hosea 4:6 “..are destroyed for lack of knowledge” and because we have rejected knowledge of HIM and HIS Torah, Elohim has no option, because HE will never go back on HIS Word, but to reject us as HIS priests and HE will also forget our children. (Ps. 89:4; Ps. 105:8; Ps. 138:2).

Please understand that this is not meant to be a teaching or an exegesis, this is meant as a warning to those of us who will take the time to read, listen and test this by putting it before YHWH in pray and against His Word as led by HIS Ruach.

We all, and I mean all, have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of El Shaddai: We have all, and I mean all, made and built, fashioned and worshipped our own version of the Golden Calf, albeit with the very best of intentions, it makes no difference – a Golden Calf, remains a Golden Calf.  We have all, and once again I mean all, tried to “fashion” a god that we can understand, a god fashioned according to our experiences and vain imaginations.   A GOD WHO MAKES US FEEL GOOD AND COMFORTABLE WITH OURSELVES.  A GOD WHO WILL AGREE WITH US, AGREE WITH OUR ACTIONS AND WHO WILL GIVE US “LOTS OF THINGS.”

Dear reader, here is the problem with all these Golden Calves that we have made, re-made; molded, cast, polished and put on the mantle piece in a place of prominent display to pride ourselves on and make our CV’s and ourselves look good and holy, THE CALF/CALVES, WHATEVER IT OR THEY MAY BE, have hidden the TRUE YHWH Yeshua away from us.  In actual fact WE DO NOT EVEN KNOW THE ELOHIM OF AVRAHAM, YITSAK AND YA’AKOV. We may have some Greek inspired, Plato philosophized, representation deduced from a “New Testament” which was explained to us by anti-Semitic Church Fathers divorced from the Original Hebraic Christian Roots, who needed to denounced the “Jews” as Christ killers for political expediency and urgently needed to find another more Universal or shall we say Catholic (all-embracing) politically correct way to worship this New Testament Jesus the Christ.   

So today at best we imagine ourselves to have a form of godliness when in actual fact, we deny the very power of it, compounded by the fact that when HE does talk to us through HIS RUACH we do not recognize HIS Voice because of lack of Wisdom and are seemingly of unsound minds, tossed like the waves with every new doctrine we hear of because our faith is based on vain imaginations AND NOT ON THE SPIRIT LEADING US INTO ALL TRUTH OF THE WRITTEN WORD, because we have divorced ourselves from the Spoken Word given to Moshe verbatim SO THERE COULD BE NO MISUNDERSTANDING THE FOUNDATIONAL WORD OF YHWH. (Job 42:1-6; 2 Tim. 3:5; James 1:6-8; Ex. 33:11; Num. 12:6-8) 

We have gone so far as to fundamentally separate YHWH Elohim and Yeshua, HIS SON,  thus making ABBA a wrathful, vengeful, hateful, hard, unfair and legalistic God, whilst at the same time turning Yeshua, HIS SON WHO portrays the very image of Abba, into a lawless, soft, humanistic god WHO lines up with the WCC, UN, Governments of the day, any of our Denominational doctrines, Human Rights Societies and the list goes on:  We have made Yeshua a god who is of perfect and deliberate Politically Correct speech, never calls evil, evil; has obliterated all borders between right and wrong; has mixed the seed in HIS Garden, celebrates HIS holy days with pagan holy days and so much more.  We achieved all this simply by adding a blank page to the Word of Elohim and labeling it “NEW TESTAMENT”, and in some translations even started a new page numbering system (NIV for one):  MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.  We now have the God of the Jews and His archetypical Son, who really is more of an Anti-Christ (Read anti Christ = Instead of Messiah) than a Perfect Representative of the Father YHWH.  We have created a Golden Calf who is now perfectly aligned to serve as “a god” among the pantheon of New World Order gods for the New Age of Aquarius.

Have we forgotten that Father and Son are ONE? (Deut. 6:4; John 17) That the SON, Yeshua only ever did as the Father instructed and showed HIM? (John 5:19; John 10:32); Have we forgotten that HE is JUST (John5:30, Acts. 3:14); HE is RIGHTEOUSNESS (John 2:1); HE is JEALOUS (Ex. 20:5); HE NEVER SHARES HIS GLORY WITH ANYONE (Is. 42:8)?  Have we forgotten that HE IS NEVER THE RESPECTER OF PERSONS (not at all humanistic – in fact HE hates humanism) (Acts. 10:34; Rom. 2:11)? Have we forgotten THAT HE IS THE OWNER OF THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH, THE SILVER AND THE GOLD, and THE CATTLE OF A THOUSAND HILLS are HIS (Deut. 10:14; Ps. 50:10-11)– HE DOES NOT NEED US OR OUR SACRIFICES AND WORSHIP (Is. 1:11-20; 1 Sam.15:22-23)?  Have we also forgotten that HE IS AN ELOHIM OF EXTREME VENGENCE, WHO HATES, LOATHES AND DESPISES VAIN & RELIGIOUS EFFORTS OFFERED TO HIM THAT ARE NOT ACCORDING TO HIS WORD AND SPIRIT?  Read Exodus 31:18-32:35 – you will also note that the calf was even made by a High Priest TO PLEASE THE PEOPLE & Lev. 10 – to see what happens when “strange fire” is offered in the Presence of YHWH. HE HAS NOT CHANGED AND NEVER WILL.

We forget that HE HATES SIN, THE BREAKING OF HIS TORAH IN OUR DAILY LIVES, SO MUCH, that HE ALLOWED HIS SON YESHUA, THE SALVATION OF YHWH, TO GENUINELY BE MURDERED FOR OUR SINS!

We forget that THE FATHER CALLED WHAT HE ALLOWED TO HAPPEN TO HIS SON “LOVE” AND IT “PLEASED” HIM (Is. 53; John 3:16) BECAUSE THROUGH THE DEATH OF HIS SON, YESHUA, THE SALVATION OF YHWH, WE CAN NOW BE CALLED BEN YISRAEL (CHILDREN OF ISRAEL):

BUT we seem to also forget that the CHILDREN ARE HOLY MEANING SET APART FOR HIS USE, NOT CONFORMING TO THE WAYS OF THE WORLD.  We forget we are Children who WITH THE RETURN OF YESHUA OUR MESSIAH, ARE TO LOOK, BEHAVE AND BE LIKE HIM. 

We forget that NOW WE, BEN YISRAEL, HAVE THE HOPE OF BEING PURIFIED THROUGH MESSIAH YESHUA, BECAUSE WE SHOULD NOW KNOW THAT SIN IS THE BREAKING OF THE TORAH AND THAT MESSIAH YESHUA, WHO HAD NO SIN (NEVER BROKE HIS MARRIAGE COVENANT - TORAH) HAS DIED FOR OUR SINS AND THUS CLEANSED US AND TAKEN ON HIS HEAD THE CURSE OF THE TORAH, THE CURSE WHICH WAS DEATH (Col. 2:14): 

We forget that THROUGH HIS RUACH HAKODESH, (THE SPIRIT OF ABBA & YESHUA – THE HOLY SPIRIT) WE SHOULD BE ABIDING IN HIM AND NO LONGER SINNING (BREAKING TORAH INTENTIONALLY):

We forget that HE/SHE WHO SINS (BREAKS TORAH INTENTIONALLY) HAVE NOT SEEN HIM AND DO NOT KNOW HIM!  (1 John 3:1-6 & Rom. 8:2; 1 Cor. 6:11; 1 Cor. 12:3; Php. 1:19 - midrashed).

We need to understand that the Torah (Marriage Covenant) is the very Heart of YHWH SPOKEN TO US VERY POSSIBLY BY THE PRE-INCARNATE YESHUA TO HIS PEOPLE AS AN ETERNAL MARRIAGE COVENANT, and when we speak of Love in the Word it means to obey His Commandments – BY WHICH YHWH ABBA showed us HIS LOVE FOR US BY ALLOWING HIS SON TO BE SACRIFICED, ACCORDING TO HIS TORAH FOR THE SALVATION AND REDEMPTION ONLY OF THOSE WHOM ABBA WOULD GIVE TO HIS SON AS ORDAINED BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD WAS LAID (John 17:5-12; John 17:23; Eph. 1:4; Rev. 13:8; Rev. 17:8).

At time of writing we are completing the time of the secondary, non-Biblical feast of Purim, celebrated in commemoration of Queen Esther (Hadassah) having to save her people (the Exiled Jews) from genocide because her uncle, Mordecai, refused to bow to Haman, the Agagite – mortal enemies of the House of Israel, who was also the “Prime Minister” of Persia at that time.  Here we see the silent, powerful move of YHWH to rescue HIS people when they submitted to HIM and HIS will.

In a few days from now we will be entering into the Feast of Pesach (Passover), which will also incorporate the Feast of Unleavened Bread and First Fruits.  I will not go into any explanations as to what this Festival represents as that is a book on it’s own, but I will note a few points:

• It is NOT THE EASTER HOLIDAYS – THESE ARE OF PAGAN FERTILITY RITE ORIGIN AND HAVE NOTHING WHAT-SO-EVER TO DO WITH YHWH, YESHUA OR HIS KINGDOM RULE, NO MATTER WHAT THE CHURCH MAY TRY TO SAY AND ALLEGORISE, EASTER IS WRONG, PAGAN AND FALSE.

• Briefly - Passover celebrates the Slaughter of the Passover Lamb (Yeshua our Messiah), taking the blood over your door of your house (being born again), the Passover Meal with Family (Yeshua Celebrated with His Disciple the night He was betrayed) and coming out of Egypt (redeemed from the slavery to Sin).

Dear reader, before any of this which I have written above can be of any consequence to us, before we can ask YHWH Yeshua to please send us HIS Ruach (Spirit) to lead us into Truth and Righteousness and to enable us to Worship HIM in Spirit and in Truth, we need to accept the Sacrifice of Yeshua Our Messiah and Passover Lamb, otherwise trying to be righteous, just or pleasing in anyway to Abba YHWH is a wasted and futile exercise.

Come let us make sure that we know The Lamb of YHWH, The Redeemer HIMSELF Who will point us to Our Heavenly Father before we do anything else.  Being Christened as a baby, belonging to any Church or Synagogue, claiming any form of Sunday School or any other sort of Ministry, official title or prayer group fellowship means nothing at all IF WE HAVE NOT ACCEPTED THE BLOOD OF THE ETERNAL LAMB, YHWH YESHUA.

Please do not trust anyone on this most serious of matters – YOU GO AND SPEAK TO YESHUA ON YOUR OWN – IT IS BETWEEN YOU AND HIM.  That is one of the Great Mysteries of The Passover – We have free access to Our Heavenly Father any time through the Redeeming Blood of Our Eternal High Priest in the Order of Melchizedek, YESHUA HAMASHIACH – BECAUSE HIS SACRIFICE AND HIS FREELY GIVEN BLOOD OFFER TORE DOWN THE CURTAIN REPRESENTING OUR SIN AND FLESH WHICH SEPERATES US FROM OUR HEAVENLY FATHER.  Amein and Hallelujah.

Then, and only then, can we start to ask HIS Ruach to help us prepare for this Time of Tribulation now bearing down on us.  Then and only then can we expect to be led into all Truth and Righteousness by HIS RUACH:  Then and only then can we expect to be taken to a place of safety on the wings of an eagle (Rev. 12:14):  Then and only then can we expect the protection and guidance of the 144000 (Rev. 7 & 14).

Shalom in Messiah Yeshua.
